how many colours of green are there ?

[funkymoped]

yes this is a body and soul question...

seems the human eye can see more colours of green than any other colour. can anyone tell me how many green colours there are ?

i only know about the green thing because night vision is in shades of green, so would rather not be told im wrong !!! ta very much peeps..

If you are me then theres zillions of green cos i have real difficulty telling the difference between some greens blues and greys, what i think is green someone else will say is blue or grey and vice versa dunno why cos im not colour blind as we have to be tested at work for it and i passed :s

[unruliejulie]

well, i have green eyes funkymoped and they turn different shades of green depending on my mood! Do you think that is related to us seeing more green than anything else? Got me thinking now.

[funkymoped]

eyes that change colour with out moods must be a sign of summat, but i dont know what !!!

how many shades of green do you have unrulie ?

[curiosity]

I thought night vision was purple vision? I know that dusk vision is definately purple vision, but is pitch black green then?

yep, night vision is green.... i own a night vision sight and the instructions tell you that "green is used because there are more greens in the human field of vision"
